Twenty-fourth AnnualUniversity of Wisconsin-Stevens PointHorn Fest

Saturday, November 8, 2014

The Twenty-fourth Annual University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point Horn Fest will be held on Saturday, November 8. The day includes master classes, clinics, rehearsals and performances by horn players from middle school age to professionals. The main event of the festival will be a massed horn choir including all participants, conducted by Dr. Patrick Miles, Professor of Horn and Director of Orchestral Activities at UWSP. This year, we are also hosting the Third Annual Brass Day so the event will be larger than ever. This year will also feature a master class by California hornist and UWSP alumna, Sadie Glass.

This festival is designed to give encouragement and inspiration to players of an often neglected and frequently misunderstood instrument. Last year's festival was a tremendous success and we are hoping to duplicate or surpass that event. The fee for the event is $25 for individuals and includes the festival music, master class handout and a festival T-shirt. Registration monies can be paid at the time of registration. However, I ask that you send in the registration form in advance so that I can send music ahead of time to those participating as well as ordering their T-shirt. All events will occur in the Noel Fine Arts Center on the UWSP campus.

This is a wonderful opportunity to get together with people who share a common interest in music making on the horn. The more that come, the more fun it is. Please feel free to contact me, if you have any questions. Contact listed below.
